any community meetings on her? last i heard (in july) cambridge police were handing out fliers and asking witnesses to contact them with information. they were trying to ID a person seen in the area on bicycle. then the story just disappeared? any updates on 15 year old rishelle robinson??

Gunfire is a monthly headline in my (Area 4). Three weeks ago there was a car-to-car gun battle in Cambridgeport. East Cambridge has regular gun incidents.

Nothing to see here folks move along.

But when shit like this happens north and west of Prospect Street, it actually seems to matter. Locate it near Dunster House, or Liz Warren’s manse and you’re up to your eyes in stepped up police presence and grief counselors.

Gun battles are scary and should be taken seriously by police, but at least has a context and likely explanation. I don’t think you can compare that to a long term resident homeowner, seemingly uninvolved with his attackers, being beaten to death with an unknown weapon by unknown persons, in a quiet park usually occupied with kids, dog walkers and commuters, footsteps from his home at 6:30 pm! Investigators have not released ANY explanation or context for how or why this happened. So yea of course there’s stepped up police and of course people are rattled and there’s a meeting...

Would there have been a community meeting called about the crime? I would hope so, but I don't know. I think there might be some merit to the accusations that some victims (or zip codes) seem to "matter" more than others.

I think the point here has shifted, but I don't even think its debatable that some zip codes matter more. That's clear as day if you've ever lived in rough area. Good for them for responding with what seems like action. It's always good to get people in a neighborhood on point with what's happening
